We have 56 care packages left to ship out via USPS . But we do this monthly and a monthly donation would be the very best way to help . We also are sending a few to healing children form the Parkland mass shooting . These care packages are all filled but we always need funds to fill and ship them $25 for each large flat rate care package ($7 to fill and $18 to ship ). Just give what you wish .

Donating to our charity is the easiest way to help our work continue and you can always add a message for our heroes receiving your packages . Again, please consider a monthly pledge if possible which you can do anytime and add a message which you can change at any time .

We really need your help with our charity . Our work continues all year for our troops and vets who need our support . We also foster stewardship programs with children,teens,college students and seniors including Operation Pillow Hugs for Parkland . We are helping wrap the children and community in Homefront Hugs .
The troop and wounded vet needs continue as well . We are needed to reduce stress, isolation even Depression – to wrap vetted heroes in support to help with our crisis of suicides with active duty and wounded veterans .

Homefront Hugs is here 365 days a year for our wounded and seriously ill veterans and for our deployed troops overseas who have requested support . We help military families when vetted and other resources have already been utilized.
We help foster stewardship and inspiring new volunteers of all ages and abilities every day to give back to their communities in any way they choose in thanks for their freedoms. We have many missions but this is one of our prevention missions to help reduce the daily suicides in the military as our troops are spread thin and often stressed to the max.

Know that no one makes a penny here. We are a US Air Force family ourselves and proud of our charity – a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization . We understand the sacrifices .

Here at Homefront Hugs ,we remember our fallen heroes and our countless vets lost to suicide every day. We honor their sacrifices by supporting their brothers and sisters who still need us because that would have been their wish. They also would want us to support any citizens who are walking the walk and giving thanks for their freedoms by making positive changes in our world .

Homefront Hugs began 1 month after 9/11 and on the birthday of our founder’s husband and Air Force pilot, her best friend and hero, Steve Schmidt of gorgeous Charlevoix, Michigan . If you have never been to the dunes of Charlevoix and watched a sunset with a loved one, never enjoyed their Cherry Festival , the International Venetian Festival, Apple Fest, etc.. Charlevoix is a charming gem for anyone wanting an escape and place to ” savor the moments ” as Steve always reminded his wife to do and she still does escaping to Charlevoix when she can with her son. Make sure to put this memorable welcoming town on your bucket list and be prepared to soak in the exquisite sunsets .

They met at University of Michigan – as college sweethearts. Then Steve joined the Air Force . Though their marriage did not last due to tragedy, Alessandra began Homefront Hugs with her son afteto help support troops, military families and veterans better than how her own marriage was supported years ago when a tragic loss occurred while deployed overseas in Europe and just before Desert Storm broke out.

We never forget the sacrifices at Homefront Hugs. Your generosity here makes a real direct difference as 100% is used for our troops and wounded to receive care . Thank you for helping ship care today and not just scrolling by.

KEY REASONS troops might not have support while deployed anywhere:

📌 Divorce or Separation from Partner/Spouse
📌 Financial issues so family cannot afford to send more than letters or cards
📌 Time constraints for spouse or partner as they have to work 2 jobs now to make ends meet or just longer hours to keep family business going
📌 Children – Their partner or spouse is literally a single parent now
📌 Child or Spouse is ill and requires all the attention and care stateside
📌 Family disapproves of military service

📌 First Deployment without any family Support due to disapproval of military service
📌 Pride or Depression so hero asks family or loved ones not to worry about him or her while deployed

You make a real difference at Homefront Hugs and support these heroes . Adopt or help send care packages today or visit Operation Healing Angel or our Children’s Page .

We

We need the kind of support our World War II veterans had from the Homefront over 75 years ago.

Homefront Hugs are much more than simple hugs . They are real support for those who offer sacrifices and sometimes their own lives for our country and our freedoms . Our heroes come from all religions, politics and walks of life – volunteering for a country they love .

Homefront Hugs support helps to prevent some of the feelings that makes a service member more vulnerable to PTSD , depression and even suicide.

Fact : We are losing too many to suicide every single day both active duty and veterans . Support is critical before,during and after deployments . That is why we are here .

What is needed most critically now?

✅ Funds for postage to mail care .This is the most secure website to donate funds with any means . We have not had any problems in 16 years .

✅Volunteers to adopt troops and military families from far.

✅Web designer team and app developers to donate time to tweak website, forms and develop an app to serve our thousands of troops and vets best .

✅ Employees to donate and get their employers to match their donation to our charity in thanks for our freedoms .

✅Social Media help to share messages and needs , resources for troops,vets and families especially on Twitter , Reddit and Facebook.

✅College students and teens to help make short 1 minute videos to help with suicide prevention , write letters, volunteer at local VA hospitals or with homeless, create their own projects, and decorate pillowcases for our hospitalized vets and deployed.

✅ Homefront Hugs Kids, Teen,College and Seniors’ Clubs across the country .

How do we receive names of troops in need ?

Great question. We have commands and chaplains signing up troops who have no support for Homefront Hero Hugs and hospitals we have worked with for years with our mission Operation Healing Angel . We also have families and troops who sign up heroes in need or themselves many who sign up every deployment knowing us from experience .

Thanks to all our heroes serving and who have served with courage and endless sacrifices . You are never forgotten at Homefront Hugs USA.

If you know a veteran – even know an active duty soldier or sailor – in any branch of service – check on them – see how they are doing – that alone can sometimes be enough to remind them they are NOT alone . You can call for them too if concerned. But don’t ignore their silence or isolation or mood swings . Don’t hope someone else will be there and do something.

“ Be one of the helpers in 2018 -and join us at Homefront Hugs. Then humanity wins . “
